A Victorian Government Minister has rejected claims the Liberal Party has been in preference deal talks with the leader of the Rise Up Australia party.

Danny Nalliah, who is from the church group Catch The Fire, told Fairfax Media this morning he had discussed preference deals with the Liberals and independent Geoff Shaw.

The preacher sparked controversy several years ago when he claimed the Black Saturday bushfires were God's revenge for Victoria's abortion laws.

He told Fairfax he spoke to a Liberal candidate, who was acting with the authority of the Liberal Party executive, about preferences for the upcoming state election.

But Multicultural Affairs Minister Matthew Guy said there had been no discussions about preferences between Rise Up Australia and the Liberal executive.

"Preference arrangements are organised by our state president and our state director, and they haven't had conversations with Rise Up Australia," Mr Guy said.

"Obviously there are elements of their party platform that concern me as Multicultural Affairs Minister, having said that, that's a matter that the state president and state director would deal with directly."

Mr Nalliah said Rise Up Australia would be contesting every marginal Lower House seat at November's poll.

The party also plans to field candidates in every Upper House district.

He said the conversation about preference deals with the Liberal candidate took place earlier this month.

"We had a discussion on the 6th of June and we spoke on a few things," he said.

"There's a long way to go to the election, of course we have five months more, so it was just an initial first discussion just to work things through to find out where we are standing candidates and so forth.

"The candidate's himself actually acknowledged that."

Mr Nalliah said he has also been in talks with Mr Shaw.

"I've known Geoff Shaw actually for the last 10 years and we have been talking for the last 10 years, so it's not something new for me to talk to him in the last few days," he said.

"It's been something that I've been talking for a long time with Geoff."

Rise Up Australia preferences to go to like-minded parties

Mr Nalliah said the party's preferences would only go to candidates who share the party's views.

"It will go to a person who will ideally stand with the values that we stand for at the Rise Up Australia party to keep Australia Australian," he said.

The Rise Up Australia party ran on a strong anti-multiculturalism platform, and wanted to ban the full-face veil worn by some Muslim women.

Mr Nalliah also said his views on homosexuality were reflected by the party.

"We love the homosexual community very much, as a Christian minister I love the people very much," he said.
